O God, who called your servant Margaret to an earthly throne that she might advance your heavenly kingdom, and gave her zeal for your church and love for your people: Mercifully grant that we also may be fruitful in good works, and attain to the glorious crown of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

Delivered over some two decades while he was Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford (as well as Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology), these selected sermons by Oliver O’Donovan are occasions where the theologian applied himself to the pastoral homiletic discipline. This course will be a guided reading of selections from The Word in Small Boats, with a particular focus on fundamental matters of Christian faith. Newcomers to Christianity should find help here in coming to a biblical mind and heart, while old hands should themselves be challenged to see basic truths in profounder depths.

For the first half of each class, Father Austin will summarize some key points of a few sermons; the second half will allow for questions and discussion.

O’Donovan offers us beauty and clarity of expression, apt illustrations, and careful attention to the Bible passage at hand. His zeal for the gospel and his love of Scripture shine throughout.
